Abstract
The equation for the unperturbed mean-square radius of gyration ‹S2›0 of copolymers was obtained for two cases by using the rotational isomeric method. For one case we assumed that the total mass of each structural unit of chain was situated on the skeletal atom. And for the other case we considered the deviation of the center of mass of each structual unit from each skeletal atom.
